Chapter 222: I'm the Best Fit
Some people's stories end in a day, and some people's stories last that long.
Shen Leng couldn't see or feel the matter of the pair of men and women in Chang'an City, he felt that he was just a young man who was diligent, studious, and persevered, more talented and had all the good qualities, not a god, the most important thing was that his skin was slightly tanned by the sun by the sea, and he felt that he was more handsome, but in this era, most ignorant girls understand the handsomeness of men as grease and powder, red lips and white teeth.
So he thinks that the tea master is really discerning.
He made a rattan chair for the tea master, and found that the balcony of this inn was not suitable for this rattan chair, so he went out for a spin.
The terrain of Yacheng is very high, there is a stone wall of at least twenty or thirty meters under the city wall on the side of the sea, although it is uneven and uneven, it is difficult to climb up with bare hands, so if this place wants to attack down, you can only attack the main gate along the road, even so, every time the people attack the Liren, they will abandon the city and flee, and wait until the Liren are gone and then come back in embarrassment, which shows how weak it is.
Shen Leng felt that his rattan chair was perfect, the small, old and slightly dirty balcony of the inn was sorry for this chair, he said so to the tea master, but in fact he felt that the balcony was sorry for the tea master lying on it blowing the sea breeze and basking in the sun, the tea master was so beautiful.
So he took a fancy to a house in the south of the city, it turned out that the house of the county of Yacheng County, Yacheng was built on the slope of the double camel mountain extended, the city is also uneven, this house is much higher than the city wall, and the back is a piece of green wood is beautiful, the most important thing is that the main house outside the building has a particularly large terrace, put the rattan chair on this terrace to see the sea view outside the city.
He found Pingyue Dao Chengbai Guinan, who had not left Yacheng, and proposed to buy this house, and explained very seriously that it was really just because his rattan chair was too beautiful and did not match the inn.
Bai Guinan shook his head with a smile, and wanted to approve an official document for him to live in directly, but Shen Leng just refused, and finally discussed whether it was a rent, and Shen Leng left.
Thinking that the tea master could lie on this rattan chair and watch the sunset on the beautiful terrace, Shen Leng's heart was also beautiful.
Ye Jingtian, the general of the Youzi Battalion, came to look for Bai Guinan, Bai Guinan told him about it, Ye Jingtian immediately frowned slightly, feeling that Shen Leng should not come to Bai Guinan, it was better to live in it directly, who would dare to say irresponsible things?
"I've never seen such a cautious young man."
Bai Guinan glanced at Ye Jingtian's face, and then smiled slightly bitterly: "Although General Ye didn't say it or show it, I still have some self-knowledge, I am a member of the Bai family, and Bai Shangnian, the general of the Yizi Battalion of Anyang County, is also a member of the Bai family, so I know that whether it is the Daofu Lord or the general's attitude towards me, it is simple and direct, and the two of them feel that I am not their own person." ”
Ye Jingtian didn't expect Bai Guinan to say these words, and he suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Bai Guinan sighed: "I drank a little too much wine last night, just let me talk a few nonsense, I can't see my future clearly, I don't know how long this Dao can be done, how much I am proud in life, how much unhappiness there is, I also see it thoroughly, I did my duty before His Majesty's will came down, and I will not insult His Majesty's trust after all." ”
He paused for a moment and then said, "That's why I said that Shen Leng is cautious, he can live directly in it, who dares to say him?" Even if I know it, it's inconvenient to say anything, why did he come to me? It's because he's worried that someone will hold on to this small house in the future, and he wants the girl named Cha'er to live better, so it can only be me, because I'm not my own person. ”
Ye Jingtian became even more embarrassed.
"The house is rented, and I can't make false accusations against him in the future."
Bai Guinan poured a cup of tea for Ye Jingtian: "The general is coming to say goodbye to me?" ”
Not letting this embarrassment continue at the right time is what he is good at.
Ye Jingtian nodded: "The Youzi battalion is going to retreat three hundred miles to the north, and I got the news that there are remnants of the Yue people who take advantage of the unrest on the beach to start a rebellion, and the scale is already thousands, I have to take the troops back, and the adults have to deal with the affairs of the two counties of Yacheng and Yuanshui, I am afraid that they will have to stay for a few more days." ”
Bai Guinan smiled sincerely: "Thank you, general, for coming to say goodbye to me." ”
Ye Jingtian knows that there are many unfair things in this world, so he is like returning to the south in vain, his ability is beyond doubt, if there is no such thing as Anyang County, it will not be a problem to be a local government in the future, but with that matter, I am afraid that the future is bleak, but he can't say it directly.
In private, he and Ye Kaitai also talked about Bai Guinan, and they didn't feel like they were from the queen's side, but they didn't look like Gui, who was sure, even if they were sure, it was not them who were in charge, but His Majesty.
"I really envy Shen Leng."
Bai Guinan suddenly sighed: "Young people always feel that there is beauty everywhere. ”
Ye Jingtian was just about to speak, when someone outside ran in quickly: "Lord Daocheng, Lord General, something happened!" ”
The two men stood up at the same time and looked at each other.
Yacheng County Ya.
The faces of all the adults were a little ugly and angry.
"It turns out that there are really people with such narrow horizons in this world."
"It's not that it's small, it's that they think Daning is too far away."
Ye Kaitai said with a gloomy face: "Nanli is still seeking to establish the south, and it is a small country with a population of only one million, and it has been pressed by the people who seek to establish it, so they are naturally more afraid of seeking it, they can't see the big of Daning, they only see the ruthlessness of the people seeking to establish it." ”
Not long ago, the two court captains of the palace were scarred to Yacheng, the two of them were ordered to protect the envoys to the Nanli Kingdom, when they first arrived, the emperor of the Nanli Kingdom was still very respectful, and they were very humble, but it didn't take long for the people to come, and the envoys of Daning were beheaded in public, and the heads were hung at the gate of the small billet city in the capital of the Nanli Kingdom, and they insulted the entourage in every way. The two of them couldn't get over, so they bought a merchant ship to hide, and they arrived here in great difficulty, and now they are still being treated in the post station.
"The envoy to Nanli is a six-grade official called Gao Gao in the Ministry of Officials, who has been killed, and his entourage should not be dead, and he is tortured by Qiu Liren every day, and Qiu Liren does this to show the Nanli people, telling them that if they have dealings with my Daning, it will end like this, and it is also to humiliate my Daning......"
Zhuang Yong looked at Ye Kaitai: "Should you send someone?" ”
Ye Kaitai's face changed: "If you want to go to Nanli, you have to bypass Qiu Li, at least a month, if you don't bypass Qiu Lizhi and go through, not to mention trying to save people back, the people you send are also very lucky, how many people do you send?" Less is useless, and more is impossible to avoid the eyes of the seekers. ”
Ye Jingtian also shook his head: "This matter is still considered in the long run, first immediately write a song and send it to Chang'an urgently, and see Your Majesty's attitude." ”
"That's Ningren."
Shen Leng, who was standing on the side, took a step forward, he had the lowest military rank in this place, and he shouldn't have spoken, but he still couldn't hold back.
"If the Ning people are bullied outside of Daning, and we don't do anything, then the people will be disappointed."
"The people may not know about it."
"Self-deception?"
"Shen Leng, you're too much!"
"The lowly is aware of his mistakes, but the lowly is willing to take people to Nanli to bring back our people."
"How do you get there? Do you go and beg for a stand? ”
Ye Kaitai's voice was full of emotion, he liked Shen Leng very much, but Shen Leng at this moment was too unruly, to put it mildly, it was possible to get more people in for the sake of those who were trapped, and it might not be worth it at all.
"We have to make the people of Daning proud all the time."
Shen Leng looked at Ye Kaitai: "Please take a hundred people to Nanli." ”
"Hundred?"
Bai Guinan looked at Shen Leng and said seriously: "General Shen, you should know that not only will a hundred people not be able to save our people if they go here, but they may all die in a foreign country." ”
"I've thought about it."
Shen Leng raised his head: "But that's the duty of the Daning soldiers." ”
This time I went to Nanliguo, in order to show the sincerity of Daning and Nanli's communication, the mission in addition to the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette also brought some businessmen, originally planned to buy a batch of goods directly in Nanli and come back, so that the relationship between the two countries could be quickly brought closer, but what I didn't expect was that Nanli people actually secretly informed the Qiu Liren, and now there may be no officials from the Daning Imperial Court who are being imprisoned, only those businessmen remain.
This is also one of the reasons why Ye Kaitai is reluctant to send troops, the first distance is too far to mobilize the division is really inconvenient, if it is asked to find an opportunity for naval battle, unfamiliar with the sea area and has lost logistics supplies, how likely is it that the entire naval division will be annihilated?
Second, those people were just businessmen.
"Go."
Zhuang Yong stood up suddenly: "This matter is my water master's business, don't stop it, I will immediately write a note and send it to Chang'an, but if you wait for the news to come back and forth, it will be more than a month, the same month, why don't you try it?" Those are Ning people, whether they are businessmen or officials, they are all Ning people, and Ning people are still envoys for the country and soldiers, just to bring them back. ”
Ye Kaitai frowned: "Lao Zhuang, don't be impulsive." ”
"Daofu-sama, you know I'm rarely impulsive."
Daning is staring up and down, the courtiers are looking at the people and watching, Daning's army will win the battle is the source of the pride of the Ning people, if those trapped people are rescued, this is the prestige of Daning!
Zhuang Yong looked at Ye Kaitai, Ye Kaitai understood, but he still felt too reluctant.
"I'm afraid it's not easy for you sailors to do it yourself."
Bai Guinan pondered for a while: "Tingwei Mansion is better at it. ”
"Let Gu Le come and help me."
Shen Leng said: "I selected eighty sailors and soldiers, and then transferred twenty court captains from the Tingwei Mansion to me, and the request was sent to Chang'an and then returned from Chang'an in more than twenty days at the earliest, twenty days, if we are fast enough, we can come back." ”
Shen Leng clenched his fists: "Please allow your lords." ”
Ye Kaitai pondered for a while and nodded: "You can go, but you can't go." ”
"Why?"
Shen Leng didn't understand, no one was more suitable than him.
"There's no why."
Ye Kaitai looked at Zhuang Yong: "You know. ”
Zhuang Yong was silent, and then shook his head: "I am just the admiral of the sailor, the matter of combat, weighing the pros and cons, it is my duty to choose the most suitable person, and Shen Leng is the most suitable." ”
Ye Kaitai's voice began to chill: "You know the consequences." ”
Zhuang Yong: "Yes. ”
Ye Kaitai snorted and walked away.
